《Thog: The barbarian》Chapter 10
Advertisement
Thog ate a good cookie. Thog's back is itchy. Thog not feel so good. Thog should not have eaten strange cookie..... Thog has wings now!
"Well that is different!" -Guild master
Tracy walks into the room and pales at what he saw, Thog has giant dragonfly like wings now!
"What the hells Tera! What in Yggdrasil's name is going on here! What the hell did you feed Thog THIS time!" -Tracy
Tracy was rather angry, this preposterous woman keeps feeding Thog strange things. Now he has wings!
The lady looks amused
"Now Tracy, there is no call for cursing, especially in your gods own name. I just happened to feed Thog a cookie with a few... Magical ingredients. no need for alarm." -Tera
"Thog can fly now!" -Thog
The green giant flapped his giant wings and managed to get a foot off the ground
"Great. He can FLY now! Do you have any idea how hard it is to not get him to chase after dragons when they fly away?!? Now he can just fly after them!!!" -Tracy
The paladin takes a deep breath to calm himself down....
"Please tell me this is not permanent..." -Tracy
Thog flew around the room, scattering quite a few papers around. The lady smiled at him innocently
"Um... i am not entirely sure. Its possible he could stay this way his entire life.... But speaking of dragons...." -Tera
"No." -Tracy
She gives him a pouting face
"You didn't even let me finish..." -Tera
The paladin sighs.
"I am 449 years old, way past the time when i am swayed by a pretty face. Your pouting face does nothing to me." -Tracy
The lady pouts for a minute more, which only causes Tracy's eyebrow to raise.
"Oh fine, you old fart. No fun at all. In any case, i need you to go and take care of a dragon that has been rampaging around the capital. It pays well." -Tera

"I already said no, you know how Thog gets about dragons." -Tracy
Thog stops flying for a bit, for a second, he almost heard his favorite word.
"You are the only ones close enough to dispatch. Becides, i happen to think you are quite proficient at dragon subjugation." -Tera
Thog confirmed it, his favorite thing! The giant cuddly lizards he was so fond of.
"Thog want to go, Thog want to go!" -Thog
Tracy sighs. Thog was pouting, and while the lady had no effect, Thog's pouting sent a bit of pain in the paladin's heart.
"Ugg. Fine! Whatever, we leave now. Best to get this over with!" -Tracy
Thog's eyes lit with excitement!
"YAY!" -Thog
The guild master bats her eyes at Tracy
"Perhaps when you get back, you can come and keep my bed warm." -Tera
"Not a chance." -Tracy
The two headed downstairs Tracy could almost swear he heard "Idiot" coming from the room behind him.
"Well, lets get this over with." -Tracy
"YES!" -Thog

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
